FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — Former Vandy grad & NFL quarterback Jay Cutler was charged with DUI, possession of a handgun, and other charges.

Cutler was involved in a minor traffic accident rear-ending another vehicle around 5 p.m. When officers arrived Cutler's eyes were bloodshot, slurring his words, a strong smell of alcohol, and had two guns in his car one being a loaded pistol.

He also refused to take the field sobriety test at the scene so they obtained it from a blood sample once they got a blood search warrant.

He was booked at Williamson County Jail giving a $5,000 thousand bond and was released later that evening.
